In: Analysen des transnationalen Terrorismus: soziologische Perspektiven, S. 84-121
Der Autor zeigt im Rahmen von komplexitätstheoretischen Überlegungen, dass der Terrorismus als komplexes adaptives System und Terroristen als adaptive Agenten verstanden werden können. Der neue transnationale Terrorismus besteht ihm zufolge in einer Strategie-Evolution: Die wechselseitige Anpassung der Akteure USA und Al-Qaida hat bei den Terroristen zu einer strategischen Überwindung von Gegensätzen und Widersprüchen geführt und einen "fuzzy terrorism" entstehen lassen. Die zentralen Elemente dieser Strategieänderung bestehen im terroristischen Lernen und im "Dschihad" und seinen Selbstmordattentaten. Der Autor versucht anhand der Unterscheidungen von Moderne/ Anti-Moderne, Differenzierung und Synthese sowie Lokalität/ Globalität nachzuweisen, dass die moderne terroristische Strategie darauf ausgerichtet ist, kategorielle Dichotomien zu überwinden. Aus der Perspektive des "fuzzy terrorism" ist der Terror nicht eindeutig gegen die Moderne gerichtet, sondern ist eher als eine "moderne Anti-Moderne" (Beck) zu verstehen. Der Autor schlägt vor dem Hintergrund der Komplexität und Unberechenbarkeit des Terrorismus folgende Gegenmaßnahmen vor: Anerkennung des neuen Phänomens, Kontextregulierung durch Selbststeuerung sowie Anerkennung und Empathie.

We are supposed to wage war against Terrorism - but exactly what we are fighting against in this war, there is nearly no consensus about. And, much worse, nearly nobody cares about this conceptual disaster - the main thing being, whether or not you are taking sides with the good guys. This volume is an analytical attempt to end this disaster. What is Terrorism? Are terrorist acts to be defined exclusively on the basis of the characteristics of the respective actions? Or should we restrict such actions to acts performed by non-state organisations? And, most important, is terrorism already by its very nature to be morally condemned? But, having a clear idea of what Terrorism is, would be only the beginning. Rational moral assessment still needs two further components: The relevant facts; and the relevant values and norms. Now, in a field where systematic disinformation has been even proclaimed to be the official policy, facts are obviously very hard to get at. This volume is mainly interested in Ethics: What's wrong with Terrorism? And what is morally right or morally wrong, respectively, with all the different means of Counter-Terrorism? What are the moral boundaries for waging war agains terrorism? What are the right ways of dealing with terrorists? And what about the alleged anti-terrorism wars on Afghanistan and Iraq?

The vagueness that attends the notion of terrorism is a source of constant confusion. This article proposes to shift the discussion from the concept of terrorism to that of terror, in the psychological sense of the term, and thus open up a new perspective on the analysis of the emotional impact of political violence. This requires us to refine the conceptual framework and make the terminology we use compatible with the empirical data we have on the psychological sequelae of violence. Adapted from the source document.

What is the answer to global terrorism? The fundamental point about terrorism is present in its very name: it is violence designed to achieve political gain by spreading terror. Terrorism is essentially asymmetric and works by cowing people into submission. Which is precisely why it can be answered; after all, who wants to be bullied in to submission? In fact, the fight against terror does not only take place in the dusty hills of Afghanistan, Africa or Asia: it takes place in our own minds. In this book, world expert Paul Wilkinson answers several frequently asked questions about terrorism. What do terrorists really want? What can be done to defeat them? What is the future of terrorism? There is no "one size fits all" solution, instead it is a multi-headed beast constantly mutating and adapting to changes in the political and strategic environment.
